Former Director General of Prisons Agim Ismaili is officially under investigation in connection with the attempted hacking of the SPAK server. He gave explanations this Thursday for almost two hours. Ismaili responded to the subpoena of Special Prosecutor Bledar Maksuti.
SPAK's systems were hacked months ago and the emails of three special prosecutors were taken from there.
Here is what SPAK stated at the time of the attack on the servers:
The Special Prosecution Office against Corruption and Organized Crime received information on March 12, 2025 that it had been targeted by an illegal intrusion of the email addresses of special prosecutors.
Thanks to security measures, it was not possible to interfere with the internal system of the Special Structure against Corruption and Organized Crime (SPAK), which remains intact.
From the verifications, it has resulted that only the email addresses of some prosecutors were compromised, but not the institution's general IT system.
The responsible persons have managed to obtain some information, without being able to secure access to the investigative files.
They also attempted to interfere with the email of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, Mr. Altin Dumani, but without success.
Thanks to an intensive investigation led by the Special Prosecution Office, with the involvement of the BKH and the Expertise Sector of this Prosecution Office, it was possible to uncover this illegal interference, identifying and arresting within 24 hours two citizens - the individual who carried out the interference in the e-mails and the one who distributed the information to third parties.
It was also possible to seize the equipment used to carry out the intervention, as well as the downloaded files.
The prosecutor in the case, in order to preserve investigative secrecy, has ordered the persons who have come into possession of this information not to publish it.
Meanwhile, other individuals who may have had connections with the arrested persons and possessed information have also been questioned.
In parallel with the criminal proceedings, the Special Prosecution Office launched an internal administrative investigation, which confirmed that the overall IT system was not compromised.
At the same time, additional measures have been taken to strengthen the protection protocols of the institution's overall IT systems.
Up to this stage of the investigation, there is no evidence that the arrested persons have collaborated with internal SPAK personnel.
SPAK assures the public and all interested parties that all measures have been taken to protect files, sensitive data and maintain the integrity of the institution's infrastructure.
Investigations into this matter continue amid suspicions of the existence of a structured criminal group.
